About this Webcast

Each year plan sponsors struggle with the uphill battle of rising pharmacy costs and decreasing budgets. And because of the continued economic pressures stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and rising prescription drug costs – now more than ever – plan sponsors must balance providing a comprehensive, quality benefit for their employees while also controlling pharmacy spend. Partnering with a PBM that is aligned with your company goals is essential to achieving quality care at affordable costs but knowing what to look for when selecting a PBM partner can be challenging.
